The Arsenal Women Journal – Slow start and more regrets [ARS 0-0] Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!

Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! The team waved goodbye to 2025 in style, with three consecutive away wins against Everton in the WSL, OH Leuvenin the UWCL and Crystal Palace in the league cup.

Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! It’s been a while since we last spoke, and Arsenal built on their all-important win against Real Madrid with two very narrow but equally important results against Liverpool in the WSL, and against Twente in the UWCL.

As sad as […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados!It was too good to be true, wasn’t it? During more than an hour, the Arsenal Women team were all over Bayern Munich, in Germany, and could have scored five, six goals. The intensity, purpose, aggression and organization showed by the players, masterfully directed by Renée Slegers, were sensational, and the hosts […]

I purposedly waited before writing about our draw against Chelsea at home, because I feared my writing would be negatively impacted by the way the match ended and the fact that emotions were very high when the final whistle was blown.

Our girls returned from the international break and won comfortably against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, recording their third consecutive win in all competitions. Goals from Alessia Russo and Stina Blackstenius, plus an own goal from the host, saw the Gunners breeze past Leicester and remain within touching distance […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Back from Lisbon with a much-needed win, the Arsenal Women team will go into the international break in a much more relaxed mood and can look at the future with less anxiety and a bit more of confidence.
